'Now it's time for the news...'

As usual I went round to Madison's house last night, which was hilarious! As it was raining we decided we would do some filming which started off with us planning on doing a weather forecast; however after some intense thinking we changed our mind and started doing a sketch show (Very random! but extremely entertaining ;) It was such a good night! Madison's mum Tracy even made us cakes :) (YUM!!) Her cakes really are lovely, they were little pretty cupcakes, all different decorations, they were so pretty I didn't want to eat them! But I did because they smelt and tasted too good!
Today I'm not planning on doing too much to be honest, I've got to do some homework a bit later and then I'm going to dust and hover my room (thrilling job!) 'Top gear' starts again tonight which I'm looking forward to and 'Casualty 1909', such good programmes. So yeah, that's my plans for today!

Have a lovely Sunday everyone! :D

Love and cupcakes,

Potrobello Road

Yesterday me and some friends had the day off of college due to 'individual interiviews' so we decided to go to London and try out somewhere different to where we usually go which consits of Covent Garden, St. James Park, Buckingham Palace, Soldiers ;), and Westminster. We thought we would try out Portobello Road, because they have a really good Vintage Market there. When we got there we waited for some friends who were following us up and walked down to the market. Madi found some really cute little compact mirrors which we bought.
(Picture below)

We did some looking around and found this really good shop, but the clothes were like £200-300 and just little out of our price range :s

Lunch time consisted of us migrating over to our second home again (St. James Park) where we bought a panini and had the ledgendry 'chocolate chip ice cream' or in Sophie's words 'Chocolate Shard', because the chips are ABSOLUTLEY MASSIVE!

It was a really good day and the weather was even nice, except it was colder than we had expected, so there we were in the middle of London with our dresses on or shorts, sandals, sun glasses and no cardigans and it did get a tad cold ;D
Today I went to Thanxted with my parents which was nice. It's only a little village but my mum's really into art and they have a textile exhition there every now and then. We had ,lunch in a restaurant called 'Parishes' and then went for a wander. I dropped my cardigan at one point and was like 'Where's it gone?!', any way the panic was over when I saw it on the ground just up the road. Phew! :)


I'm off to Madison's tonight which shall be fun! and then it's fathers day tomorrow.

Love and sunshine,

'Ohh Romeo, Romeo'

Hi again, sorry I haven't blogged for a little while as I've been quite busy at College. Anyway back to the blogging world...
Yesterday I went to see 'Romeo and Juliet' in the park with my parents and Madison :) It was really good! I've never read the whole book and so wasn't sure of some of the more tiny details, but now I understand. I thought the acting was good except the person who played 'Romeo' was slightly over the top, which made me and Madi laugh :s haha! This then made us laugh even more to see each other laugh and so we had to do some very heavy breathing techniques to stop ourselves from bursting out laughing.

As it was so windy yesterday half of the set fell down which was funny at the time, but when Juliet sat down on the bed I was so scared that the bed was going to fall on her (Thankfully it didn't! Phew!)

As we were getting out of the car yesterday we turned around to see 'Mercutio' stepping out of his car in his Shakespearean costume which was slightly surreal lol.

Anyway, the evening was great and I'm glad Madi feels happier now as she was very upset during the day! I send her lots and lots of hugs! :D

I'm looking forward to tomorrow because Me, Madi, Dawn, Debra, Sophie and Ambra are going to Portobello Road to the Vintage Market :) Should be fun!


Love and Laughs,

Kirsty .x.

Back to College!

I went back to College today which I was really happy about because now I'm starting to get a bit bored sitting at home. I'm also starting my A2 work now which is so scary but I'm really looking forward to it. After Double Health and Social Care I had a baguette outside whilst it was sunny, with my friends at lunch time (I've missed those baguettes so much these last 2 weeks!). Debra decided that she felt like going to Romford, so after College we went there on the bus but oh my! How much it rained, it felt like we were under a waterfall on the bus at one point! With thunder and lightening every where. The road got quite flooded. Well once we got under cover we did our usual shopping but I'm pleased to announce that I was able to put a bar of chocolate down and resist the temptation of even picking one up when I walked into 'Thornton's', now that's a task! :)
I actually bought a new dress today (another dress? I here you say) but it is a lovely dress. Its always good to have a look in charity shops to see what you can find! The dress really reminds me of summer!

Little chief goes to southend!!

This weekend I've been quite busy actually. Today my mum wanted to go and see an art exhibition and talk to the artist so we drove up to Southend. After an hour! of waiting :), we were going to go and have fish and chips on the beach (which is what you have to do in the summer and when your by the sea! lol) but for some reason it was really busy! Probably because its the first time in ages that the sun has been out for a whole day here in England :). So on the way back we decided to stop in 'The Little Chief' which I have not been in for ages! It was so nice. Scampi and chips with peas yum!! The Chocolate fudge cake for dessert!! I tell you something though, I'm not eating too much this week, I have eaten out 3 days in a row which has been nice but wooo! haha.


I just had to take a picture next to the legendary restaurant. :)

A meal, a party and a Uni induction!




Last night was really fun! Me and the girls decided we would go for a meal at a new restaurant that has recently opened in Hornchurch :) Its called 'Ask Italian'. I don't know if anyone else has ever been, but it is soo nice! I had a Margaretta pizza which was lovely but I must say the pasta that some of my other friends had looked delicious :P
Anyway after we had eaten the scrumptious meal :D Madi invited us all to her families party :) It was really good, we sat outside most of the night and talked (Us girls like to gossip! :D) Madison's mum made such a nice set of cakes! The picture above was a chocolate cake that she made and I had a bit and wow! It was sooooooo nice! :)
After a nice night out on Friday I had to be up fairly early to go to a University induction day, it was really interesting. I went to look at South bank and because I want to be a children's nurse I went to talk to the member of staff about the course and watched a presentation! It really looks interesting and I HOPE I get into a university like South bank because it seems to have a lot to offer!
As my parents came with me, we went to the Tate modern to have a look around and to have a meal. I had a cheese burger which was lovely! (As you can see I'm having a healthy few days in the food criteria :s haha)
I got this really good book about different fashions from all over the world, its called 'What I wore today' Really good pictures I'd recommend it!
Anyhoo I'm off to make my tea!

The day when it was sunny!

When I woke up this morning I looked outside to see rainclouds and grey skies but since about 3:45pm the weather has taken a turn for the better and it is now surprisingly nice and sunny! :D

So I went straight outside with my camera to capture this rare opportunity before it goes away again. I'm almost hot sitting here writing this blog! :o

My cat decided that he'd have a nice sunbathe to stamp the occasion as well.

I love it when its sunny, it makes people feel so much happier (I know it makes me anyhoo)! Don't get me wrong, I mean I really enjoy winter because I get to wear hats more often ;) but sunshine can just brighten up a person's day like that!
Please stay here sun! :)
